Dried Aronia Berries
Dried Aronia BerriesThough Aronia Berries look very much like blueberries, their antioxidant content is three times as potent.
Aronia berries are considered a true super food. They have a very high concentration of anthocyanin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties thought to slow cancer growth. Recent research has also shown that a regular diet that includes Aronia berries can lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease. The high antioxidant content of this purple food does not change whether it is fresh, frozen or dried. However, the drying process does remove most of the water content, so dried berries are much sweeter than in the fresh form.
Dried Aronia berries can be stored for three months in a sealed container in a cool dark, dry pantry. Keep out of sunlight.
